The theme for my company’s sporadically scheduled TGIF this week is “retro-computing”. I’m in a quandary whether to bring a MacPortable, my Canon Cat Work Processor, or the 150 pound rackmount cartridge hard drive unit from the PDP8 stored in my garage. I’m leaning towards the self-contained demoing possibilities of the Cat, and quite frankly, it’s as cute as a bug’s ear. But the sheer voluminous presence of the DEC hard drive would bring a tear to one’s eye.
Then again, there’s something truly satisfying about lugging around a 15.8 pound laptop that runs off of lead-acid batteries. Decisions, decisions.
